Appreciated this video as used it prior to my trip to Calabria in September 2019. My father’s family is from Sant’Andrea so I wanted to see where my father grew up. I walked the same streets as you walked here. Thank you for posting this. ❤️ We are Cousins of a Codispoti Family from Sant’Andrea

I’m so happy it helped! I learn of new connections to Sant’Andrea all the time, in part that to hear videos and through the blog I wrote about the trip. We had planned to return last year-until the pandemic hit. I’m on AncestryDNA. I wonder if there’s a connection.

@@CarlCorry that’s a shame about your trip. This virus has really done a number on the travel industry. I’m on Ancestry as well, I will try and locate you.

Thanks for the look at where my fathers family came from. My name is Dean Lioi (Lijoi). My father (Dino) was born in Cleveland but his father (my grandfather) Luigi Lijoi was born in Sant Andrea Apostolo Dello Ionio. Luigi was born in 1894 and immigrated to the states in 1911. He left behind in Italy 2 sisters, Carmela and Vitoria. To the best of my knowledge neither ever married and both lived their entire lives in this town. They were both seamstress. Grandpa Luigi also had a brother named Vincenzo. I think he moved to South America at some point. Luigi’s father (my great grandfather) Was Francesco Lijoi. He married Maria Varano in Sant Andrea. I see by your video that you are related (I think) to Codispoti. My grandfather’s (Luigi) wife was Maria Theresia Codispoti. Her father was Giuseppe Codispoti and mother was Serafina Tallarico. They however were all from Verzino, Crotone Italy. Thanks for sharing this video. I hope to spend a month in Calabria as soon as the Corona Virus allows.... Dean (Dino) Lioi
